the other bill is up nor. "the factor" is next as we say, go reds. >> o'reilly factor is on. tonight. >> this shutdown is not about deficits or budgets. this shutdown is about rolling back the affordable care act. this more than anything else sees to be what the republican party stands for these days. >> my view and a t view of a great many republicans is obama care is the disaster of a train wreck, a nightmare. >> it is now very personal in the obama care debate as the government is halted. will anyone compromise? senator ted cruz will be here tonight. >> such an amazing person. i'm going to miss him forever. >> the brutal murder of a

22-year-old australian athlete in oklahoma is now becoming more clear. the three teenagers involved all from chaotic homes. we'll tell you what we know. >> the swarm of cycles stops a range rover. a rider takes off his helmet and smashes the window. at some point the tires of the motor vehicle was slashed. >> they attack three in broad daylight. caution. you're about to enter the no spin zone. "the factor" begins right now. hi, i'm o'reilly. the united states government has shut down. the two sides are digging in. in this corner, president obama who says the affordable health care law will go forward because it was legally passed. in the other corner, speaker of

the house john boehner and the republicans who say the law is chaotic and mandatory signups should be delayed by one year. if that doesn't happen, the house will not pass a resolution to fund the government. thus, a shutdown. at this point, neither side is compromising. a new poll by nbc is interesting. in it the country is evenly divided at 49% over whether folks are confused by obama care or not. when asked if they are enthusiastic about it, just 24% say yes. 73% say no. but a new quinnipiac poll is bad news for republicans. on the question of do you support or oppose congress shutting down the government over obama care, just 22% support. 72% oppose. also the people were asked who they'd vote for if congressional elections were held today instead of 2014. 34% said republican. 43% said democrat. some pundits say it reflects on how the government shutdown mess

is being reported. >> they think the trends growing to go in their direction by the end of the week because, again, the press is largely sympathetic on this, that it's the house republicans' fault. >> indeed there's angst over how the story is being played. >> why connect the funding of the government, the entire u.s. economy. why bring it to this brink? why not do it at all the other times, all of the other 100-plus congresses have been able to fund the government. >> have you addressed that to the senate? we've already offer add compromise. you're telling your listeners that we republicans are holding this up and the government is going to shut down. we have reached out with a -- >> congressman, that's another fair, don't you dare put that back on me. you know you attached obama care. you cannot make something else

i i'm a gue. >> are we guests on your show or are you here to give us a tirade? >> if americans want to sign up for obama care, please do so. but if you don't, mr. obama should grant the same one-year waiver to individuals as he has to companies. that makes sense, does it not? let's see how the new law plays out and take it up again next summer before midterm elections. right? that's the memo. joining us senator ted cruz from texas. would you go for that compromise, senator? >> well, the house of representatives have already embraced that compromise. i think you're skaktsdly right. we've seen obama grant skp exexemptions. is there a special rule for the ruling class in washington? >> i'm going to take that as a yes that you, senator cruz, who have been in the lead as

opposing obama care and funding of it would say, yes, i will accept a compromise here for the good of the nation. i don't want to put words in your mouth, but that's what i'm taking away from this. >> well, let me point out, bill, four times already the representatives have offered compromises. it's compromised over and over and over again, sent over bills to the senate that fund the whole gust but mitigate the arms of obama care and four times harry reid said no compromise, absolutely nothing. he urged the president don't even talk to congressional leaders. he can talk to iran but don't talk to congressional leaders. right now it's one side refusing to compromise and that's harry reid and the democrats. >> the reality is that one side is being received by them as the reasonable side. so what i suggest to you and the republican party is that you take this compromise, i'd strip out the congressional stuff, by the way, just get it down to the

folks. you want to sign up, sign up. you don't, ask president obama to grant you a one-year waiver. he can do it by executive order. he can do it tonight. okay? then, okay. we'll go along with it and revisit it next summer because by then you'll see the cost, the deductibles, how many doctors bail. you'll see it all. it will all be there. that makes sense. let's do it. >> look, bill, what you're saying, you're listening to the american people. right now harry reid and the senate democrats are not. >> we know that but you guys should hold a press conference, you, boehner, and get four or five other republicans and just say what i said. you've got to break it down and make it easier so that the press -- and we just played the clip, can't interpret your position. you see? that's what's happening. >> look. the press is always going to repeat the white house's talking points. 's what the mainstream's media does. the last one passed is virtually what you said and all 54

democrats said, no, we're not going to treat hard-working americans the same as big members of business. >> you've got to sell it, senator. you've got to sell it to the folks who are watching football, dancing, singing, juggling, texting a lit. you've got to sell it or the polls will go against you. that's too t reality of the country in which we live. >> bill, will it me point out something in the interim while this plays out that we can and should be doing in terms of bipartisan cooperation. yesterday the senate unanimously pass add bill to say we should pay our military regardless of what happened in a shutdown. that was the right thing do. i praised harry reid on the senate floor for not objecting and allows that to happen. yesterday president obama gave a long speech about what we were going to lose during a shutdown. shutting down national parks, the smithsonian. i think we ought to pass continue using resolutions to fund every single item, priority

president obama laid out. we should respond to his priorities. i agree with them. we should go forward with -- fund the national parks. >> that's a clever way -- you know you're on "the factor" tonight. that's a clever way of saying we'll fund everything but obama kay. that's what you wanted to do in the first place. we'll fund all these things you want, mr. obama, but not obama care. it's kind of a back-door deal, senator. i admire the strategy, but i know what you're doing. >> but listen. it's not quite. what i'm saying is we should focus on areas of bipartisan agreement for example a resolution that continues funding -- >> get the whole thing done. now, listen -- >> look, i do, too, but we should focus where we have agreement. >> you know why you're not going to get president obama to give much, and this would have to come from the senate. it's not going to come from the senate. he could be persuaded if harry reid and those said, hey, you've

got do this. syria, he looks weak if he backs down. if he backs down from ted cruz, you know what's going to happen. this is you versus him. hermano y hermano. you know what this is. >> right now harry reid want as shutdown. the republican we have a shutdown is because harry reid wants one. >> and the democratic party is going to do better next year. he thinks he's going to beat you. >> but you flow what? millions of americans are hurting with obama care. they're losing their jobs, being pushed into part-time work. i agree with james huff, president of the teamsters. he's destroying -- >> we know that, but the polls haven't caught up to you yet. the polls still say most of the folks are blaming the republicans. thing you guys should dot some p.r. here and as you said, find a way, find a way to get readido come on over because they don't lose anything by giving the folks a waiver for a year.

they don't. you've still got your law. >> i think at a minimum today fund the national parks, fund nasa and the border patrol and if harry reid wants to stand up and object and say he wants to shut down the v.a., let him. i think that's wrong. we need to fix this train wreck that's obama care. >> senator, we appreciate your coming on "the factor." good to see you. >> next, all the government chaos. later, a

joining us from washington, fox news senior political analyst, brit hume. what did you think?

>> the idea that you pass a set of appropriation bills for each of these areas is what the house is trying right now to do, so there's obviously some concerted strategy going on here. i'm not sure, you know, how that will work -- if it will work better than anything else, but this is case of each side is trying to, you know, place the other in enough of an embarrassing position that they'll medyield on this. >> yeah. that they'll back down. were you surprised at the quinnipiac poll showing folks taking the sight of the shutdown? >> no. there are others. historically this is what happens. when the government shuts down, the republican party which i think quite correctly has a reputation of being less enthusiastic about government than the democratic party gets the blame or gets the responsibility, depending on how you look at it, and historically speaking, people have not appreciated government shutdowns. >> but i made the point that this compromise makes sense and

that, you know, if you want to go to obama care, go, go, you know, knock yourself out, but that the same waivers should apply to the folks. i don't see anybody getting hurt in that compromise. >> well, perhaps not, but, remember, one of the measures that was sent over last night from the house to the senate and was rejected was one which would do exactly that. >> but you've got to p.r. it. you've got to get the folks behind it. >> well, of course, you do, and in any case, against any president, any congressional leaders are at a disvarj because he's got the bully pulpit, the biggest megaphone, biggest in the country if not the world and they are a group of individual leaders in the world trying to make share voices heard. it's not as easy as you think. ted cruz got the national spotlight last week when he stood on floor but he had to stand on the floor for 21 hours. >> but it's doable. >> really? i've never seen it done. >> with the social media and the

power of talk radio and cable now, combining the three, it's doable. you've g got a lot of bad mail. i got a lot of bad mail from very, very hard right people. they don't want to compromise. they hate obama care. they don't care if it was legally passed. they're not going do it. what do dwrou whyou do when you that, if you're going to be taking that transient stance, president obama is going to do what he wants. can you get through on that level? >> i have been -- i have been engaging with these very people on twitter and elsewhere, and the answer is they don't want to hear it. their view is somebody -- and they mean by that ted cruz and others, but particularly ted cruz, is standing up and taking a strong stand for what we believe in and it's a stand based on conviction and we're

tired of these week-knak-knee'd leaders doing this. >> they're willing to go down with the ship. >> they're not willing to go down. >> how can they not if all the polls say and the data say the hard right don't have the numbers to win. >> they don't have the numbers to win on the issue, which is to say they don't have votes in the senate to pass anything and they certainly don't have the votes to pass anything by large enough margins maybe in either house to survive a presidential veto. what they're saying is, yeah, maybe, but we'll at least take a stand and try to fight this, and many of the members who are so strong on this, who like this strategy, come from congressional districts, and all they're worried about is the primary challenge. >> but if the republicans lose the house -- we've been a social is tick nation for the last

three years. >> i think their chances of losing the house is minimal. when you get a government shutdown -- when you have a reaction like you had in '95 and '96 -- >> didded you see the polls? >> remember, the republicans remained in control of the house after the '95/'96 shutdown. the problem was they didn't win on fight. they didn't get in on the issue. >> right. you saw the quinnipiac poll today. final question. i think syria's influenced obama care because obama can't look like hi lost another one right off syria. he can't. >> the leaders in both parties are both faced with the hard core of their base, which in the case of both the president and the congressional leaders, really on the republican side, both sides are faced with the belief in their base that they're too weak. so even without syria, there's a belief among hard core democrats on the left that obama gives too much in these fights. so he was already faced with

that. >> but syria, the worldwide perception -- >> bill -- >> oh, boy. >> -- i'm saying it was not feeding into that. >> all right, brit. thank you very much as always. directly ahead three teenagers in oklahoma murder a australian man. as suspected they're all from chaotic homes. we'll have a followup. and a

the murder of 22-year-old chris lane in oklahoma. he was by all accounts a good guy who was simply jogging along

when three thugs shot him to dead. one of the teenagers said the attack was motivated by boredom. as reported they're all from chaotic families and this is why violent crime continues to plague the usa. it's the family breakdown, not guns, not derelict law enforcement, not anything else. the violence is largely committed by young men of all colors, often abandoned by fathers and brought up squalor chaos and then they act out in salvage ways. let's take the teenagers indicted one by one from oklahoma. 16-year-old chancey luna known as baby drake has a history of violence. he was living with an aunt and uncle but was asked to lease the house because of his chronic marijuana use. his stepfather died in a motorcycle accident. half brother dead, his mother not caring for him.

he had no job. he just hung around. 15-year-old james edwards lived with his father. his mother is in prison on a drug charge. his father also has a criminal record. edwards is charged with murder as an adult. he has a previous assault and battery charge and larceny charge on his sheet. known as "bug," "the new york times" reports he largely hung around smoking pot and playing video games. information from his internet account suggests he was a member of the crypts gang. 17-year-old michael jones allegedly drove the getaway car after the killing. he was left with his grandparents. let back two grades in school before he dropped out. he did not have a job. jones inpreg nated a 16-year-old girl and two weeks after his arrest she gave birth to a baby boy and so you can see what this is about. largely unsupervised teenage boys running wild, and it is happening everywhere in america.

but rarely do you hear about the social destruction of the family in the press. and i applaud "the new york times" for reporting on these boys today. i also call for america's politicians to stop the nonsense and begin dealing with the real reason we are a violent country. out-of-control young people. now living in a time where drug use and legalization is celebrated. and having babies out of wedlock is a prestige item in some places. social boundaries have collapsed all across the country as the powers-that-be make ridiculous excuses for violent behavior, ignoring the real issue of dissofrling families, preferring to blame guns and wealthy people. the solution to everything is we need more money, even though the usa has among the highest educational spending per student in the entire world. there was a time in america when drug use was discouraged,

pushers were considered scum, and having babies when you can't possibly care for them and support them was considered an irresponsible act. there was a time. but it has long since passed. now we don't make judgments on personal behavior and the misguided among us even glorify anti-social acts. that includes a callus and irresponsible industry which reaps billions of dollars from destructive music and film. the brutal truth is that christopher lane was murdered for no reason. it was an evil act in a country that is far too accepting of evil. we need to stop the madness, call out those who are responsible for violent behavior, and that includes derelict parents. you people should be ashamed. you brought children into the world and have corrupted them. it doesn't get much lower than that. plenty more ahead as "the factor" moves ahead.

crowley and combs will react. and

continuing with "the factor" now monica crowley and combs. >> all kinds of things play into

it. surely family is important but there are many factors that could be true. don't forget one of the kids was really religious. luna went to church four times a day. you can't judge based on one thing. it's poverty, and a whole bunch of things. the kid who went to church four time days? >> four time as week, by the way. >> his grandmother said. >> i'm not buying any of that. >> i'm primarily says it there's a collapse. we need more money for education. no, you don't. >> it could be a combination. it's not just one thing. >> no, no, no. at the base of all this is what you point out, the breakdown of the family. when you have a good core family unit, what that family unit imparts to children is love, of course, but also boundaries, discipline, values, and faith.

i mean we talk about religious here. the collapse of religion in this country whether it's taking your kids to church or synagogue or any kind of religious service, that has really slid, and so, you know, when you don't think that god is watching you and you don't have parents because mom's in jail and nobody knows who dad is, you don't have anybody to instill values or a moral code in your behavior, and that's why you get unspeakable acts like this. >> so why is the media that's charged to report this -- and, again, i'm going to praise "the new york times" because they did a nice piece of profiling these kids, by the way. and i'm surprised by that. >> they told the truth. >> here's who they are. and the kids in spokane who killed the world war ii veteran, the 88-year-old guy. it's the same thing. you can trace it back almost 100% to chaos in the family. why doesn't the media knock it off. if they gave the collapse of the

family 20% of the time they gave anti-gun rantings, they might get some place. >> most are on the left. they tenltd to focus on the gun rather than who pulled the trigger. >> you believe it overrides any sincerity to solve the problem. >> yes. not just gun control. they won't go after hollywood. why? >> what do you think, holmes? you don't listen to rap as stuff. >> no, no. not on my ipad. >> what do you think about that? when we were growing up, we had motown, which was brilliant. >> the beach boys. >> but we had cowboys and indians. >> between autrey was not a real threat to society. >> roy rogers. >> roy, he was -- he was testing the limits. >> he was tough. >> no. answer my question. when you see how low, all right, the entertainment industry is now, stupid, does it bother you as a liberal man at all?

>> no, because -- >> it doesn't. >> no. because they're going to say that show mate me do it or watching this show made me do it. when you talk about the family, you're much closer to the problem. >> that desensitizes kids. >> a lot of thome had supervision. one went to church four time as week. the other one got his girlfriend pregnant. his dad said be man, get a job. >> do you know how hollow that mean. what job is he going to do? >> the point is the parents wither not absent in every case here. >> sure they were. no, no, no. in all three of these cases the parents were absent or derelict, all of them. >> the huge percentage of kids who have lack of parents, you've got a huge number of parents two family jobs, two parents both working and they're not out committing crimes. >> i don't understand what that is. look. in my neighborhood in the suburbs on long island, you

don't have the kricrypts and th bloods, you don't have drive-bys. you don't have kids smoking pot where their aunts and uncles throw them out of the house. you have kids sneaking around drinking but you don't have violence. there's only one factor. everybody lives in america but there's family structure out there. sometimes it's broken, but it's a structure. but in the inner cities and in this case in oklahoma, there wasn't any family. that's it. that's the common denominator girchlt me the last word. >> yeah. there are broken homes across every socioeconomic group. >> sthur there are. >> it's across the board. the difference is like you're saying there doesn't seem to pa strong family presence, there doesn't seem to be a strong religious presence in these communities which feeds into it. every kid is going to test boundaries, right? it's the parents' job, a, to be present, and, b, set boundaries. >> i have to say in most inner city neighborhood there is a

strong religious preference. there are churches and those folks have got to mobilize and help solve the problems. tliets. much more so than the secular rich people. >> the question is why aren't those black churches then having the -- >> they have to mobilize. >> you're convinced of that, i'm not convinced of that just for the record. >> okay. >> when we come right back. is it illegal? a motorcycle gang attacking a family of three, including

thanking for staying with us. this is bill o'reilly with legal topics. a group of motorcycle thugs attacked a family of three driving in an suv. dozens of motorcycles were involved. they literally attacked the vehicle, taking off their helmets and smashing in. the guy then zooms away and after it was all over, they caught up with him again. the father was injured. a number of the perpetrators were hurt as well. here now are our fox news legal analysts. pick up the story from there. the guy gets hurt. the cops come. somebody called 911. they photographed the damn thing. what's the upshot. >> one person and only one

person has been charged with reckless endangerment. he's looking at seven years. >> one of the motorcycle thugs? >> christopher cruz. they got him. the rest of them are harder to get because the motorcycle guys were weared covered helmets to cover their faces. look here. if you look closely, many of the license plates they don't have license plates. this by the way this footage that we're getting came on youtube posted by one of the bikers. >> they took the footage. >> one of them did so that should actually help them. >> do we know why they attacked the car? it's a young family with a 2-year-old. >> a man, a wife rngs and his 2-year-old daughter. it looks like what we understand from the were on their way to a big event called the hollywood stunts down in midtown, they were diverted. the police didn't want them doing that. they were mad, came back. they swarmed around this guy -- >> we don't know why they chose him. >> we don't know why they chose

him. >> there was allegedly cutting off of somebody so that started the altercation. it's basically road rage of steroids so sunday i was on the west side highway in this area. they were proceeding northbound. wi us trying to turn into chelsea pierce where all the parents go in for birthdays. they were blocking the intersection. getting off their books, talking. >> they were causing trouble all day. >> all over. like my little kid said, look at the bad guys. >> i was with a lawyer on the fox news channel earlier saying the guy in the car could be charged. >> absolutely not going to happen. the only reason they would bring that up is because he did hit one of the bikers but they were right in front of him. >> i would have ran them over. >> he was afraid, trying to get away with his wife and children. >> absolutely. and in new york you can't carry a gun. maybe if he had a gun and said, hey, get out of here. >> all right. >> it's just terrible what happened. >>suing -- the federal governme is suing north carolina because

north carolina wants voter i.d.s. once again, canada has voter imt dmts. i don't see any disenfranchisement out there. >> basically they have it. the problem is he's deciding under the voter rights act it was shut down except section 3. it was a technical way to get around it. he's engaging in some political activity here where he's targeting red states. he's not doing this this in blue states. >> -- 34 states have voter i.d. laws. >> in my opinion because it's a blue state. it's not a blue state it's red state. >> there is more to that in my opinion. there are only certain states that are subject to it. >> and they're all in the south. >> they're all in the south. so they're going after north carolina and state after state after state. i think this is a big test. >> has. the supreme court already rule thad you -- >> it's under section 3. >> this was a section not overturned in that ruling, section 3. >> right. >> it was not overturned. >> i don't know what section

three is. >> it's a section that says you can opt in, preclear certain states if you want to. >> i don't understand. >> the bottom line is he's targeting because he can with this particular state. there would still be subject to -- >> i understand there's a reason to charge but i don't feel why ee he's bothering. bottom line, holder doesn't want people to show their -- >> he doesn't like that people can't put forward a student i.d. these are the things he's upset abo about. it's too egregious you cannot vote early. 17 days is what he wants. they reduced it to 10 days. >> this is all a bunch of b.s. >> right. >> i don't get it. you know, again, canada? canada's not a conservative bastion. quick update wheel if you can, please. florida woman gets 20 years. she was being beaten up by her -- >> she runs out of the house,

gets a gun. >> she gets attacked by her husband, fire as gun in the air to scare him off. >> she get 20s years according to the mandatory law. they say, legal technicality. in the jury instrulkzs the jury would told you have to prove, you, defendant vrks to prove it was the self-defense. that's the burden on the prosecutor, not the defendant. that was a legal technicality. >> the florida appeals court threw it out, vacated it. she gets a retrial? >> yes. >> is she out? >> no. she's still in. >> when does she get out? >> it depends when they file for a bond. >> let's get her out of there, florida. >> they offered her three years. >> i know, i know. look, if you're getting beat up, come on. >> there's a history of domestic violence between the husband and wife. >> that's right. this woman had cause. it's almost like the people in the suv. you can't be attacking people

and then get charged. state of florida, with want you to let the lady out on a reasonable bond. i think that's reasonable. >> i think so too. >> if you want to read a very fun book check out "fatal tide" by lis

matters. more than 75% of physicians surveyed gave obama grade of c or lower. in fact, 38% of them gave them an f. fox business anchor john stossel. why do they not like it? >> because it's more

complication. already they've got the medicare code book. >> that's the medicare code book? >> 134,000 codes and now you get -- you know, would you want this added this? >> that is obama care. >> so the doctors who are -- some of whom take insurance, some of whom don't, if you do sign up for insurance, medicare, any of that, obama care, you have to do every regulation rule in the world, some don't have to do it? >> well, some want the medicare benefits, the costs, and say they will take the pain. >> some will, some don't, some will just not take the medicare. >> and maybe that is good, that is the beginning of a free market. >> so that is not good, so only the wealthy and the rich will pay those doctors, most can't do that. >> but that is how the

innovation starts, used to be only the wealthy could afford a cell phone or computer. now the prices came down. >> so you will have a dr. bernie who says come on in, we'll give you 50% off on the procedure. already you have dr. bernie in oklahoma who says we're getting rid of insurance costs -- >> they have walk-in clinics, mostly staff, not necessarily doctors, stossel says it is not a philosophical thing, it is a clerical thing, the government is going to say this is how much we're going to pay for this, this is how much we're going to pay for that. and the doctor sometimes wants to charge more. >> but they already do that with medicare. >> i know, but that adds to that, right? >> there is a code if you're bitten by a duck, struck by a struck, nine codes if you have been hit by a turkey, if you

have been hit before, nine codes -- >> you're kidding me, right? in obama care? so if you did get hit by a duck, it is different if you are pecked by a duck -- there is a duck for medicare? are you sure it is not the duck dynasty guys -- would you say this is totally out of control? >> i have said government is totally out of control before obama care. >> no, the health care, vis a vis obama care -- all right, a tip i learned on "the view

factor tip of the day, what i learned on "the view" today. doctor says hospitals have been receiving large federal grants in order to hire doctors and keep them in the obama care fold. and when they choose to participate, it will fold. dr. blake waxman, ohio, i work at an urgent care, and many patients i see say they can't find a family practice doctor. president obama is correct, there will be more americans who have health care. unfortunately, there will not be many physicians around to see them. steve gallanio, concord, north

carolina, we got a letter today saying that none of the carolina health care doctors will be in the obama care health insurance exchange, so we can't keep our doctor. and one says, the family premium insurance has risen 50% this year alone. one wrote, o'reilly thinks he is god, i don't think jesus would watch "fox news." surely bill you were not naive enough to think that they wouldn't take shots at you when you folltalked about jesus, i c follow the example of jesus and hammer those who demean sincere religious expression, in the temple, with the money changers. doug, from florida, as a jew i regard the mocking the temple as a disaster, i regard that in killing lincoln and kennedy. carolyn is a set-up letter,

o'reilly, you may be catholic, but you're no christian. you're book is an aberration designed by the devil. you know, i know what is going on. there are these crazy -- well, all right. missouri, i learned more from "killing jesus" than i have as a life-long believer. from dublin, ohio, jesse watters could learn more about laughing in the face of dignitaries who don't speak english. love waters world, the segment of the u.n. was hilarious. don henley, littleton, colorado, i resent your comment on the show that all the people in colorado are getting high. might want to relax a little, don, comedy show. tom in maine, i watched the
